Sketch of Her Career-Mistress of the White
House More than Fifty Years Ago.

House More than Fifty Years Ago.
Philadelphia Times.
days ago that Mrs Sarah Jackson wife of An
drew Jackson, jr.. and mistress of the White
House during President Jackson's second term,
died at the Hermitage on Aug %, aged eighty
one years" The few men and women of the
court days of the closing years of Andrew Jack
sons second administration who have survived
the intervening modicum of fifty years of terres-
trial being will recall the beauty intelligence and
viva city of this estmable lady. But the an
nouncement of her death was to many of the liv-
Ing generation the first tldlugs OF her existence.
Andrew jackson. jr., the foster-son of the
President, and Mrs. Jackson his wife, the
daughter of Peter Yorke of Philadelphia. The
Yorkes were a family of colonial and revolution
airy distinction The grandfather of Peter Yorke
held Office under the crown before the war
for freedom and independence began. Miss
Yorke was married soon after the beginning of
President Jacksons second term, which began in
1888, and entered the executive mansion q
bride Tho presiding lady of the mansion WAS
Emily Donelson, who married her cousin, An
drew jackson Donelson, at the age of sixteen.
Major Doneson was protege and confidential
adviser of General Jackson. and when the old
hero entered the presidency, became his private
secretary. When the Presidents foster-son
brought his bride to the White House the Presi-
den himself fixed their social status in playful
remark that "Mrs. Doneson should be the pre-
siding lady of the executive mansion and Mrs.
Jackson the mistress of the Hermitage"
In 1886 Mrs. Donelson, who was in bad health.
went to her home in Tennessee, leaving Mrs.
Jackson to take her place in the social regime of
the mansion during her absence. Consumption
had fastened its relentless grasp upon the beau
tiful form of Emily Donelson. AS the gayeties
of the following season were about to commence
in Washington she carried a corpse to the
tenements of the family dead in the little grave
yard at Tulip Grove. Weeping took the place of
JOY. The administration of Andrew Jackson
and the social regime of Sarah Yorke Jackson
ended in mourning.
The association of Mrs. Jackson with the life
OF Andrew jackson was during the evening of
his DAYS and in the retirement of his home Her
dignifed and affable WAYS always pleased h i'm.
His pride in her knew no bounds. After he laid
aside the robes of state and once more assumed
the garb of simple master OF 1.-The Hermitage"
she presided over his household and entertain ed
the throng of friends who came and went during
the eight years of his life after retiring from the
presidency. Mrs. Jackson's husband died many
years ago. The State of Tennessee purchased

mot GUUTY.n

The jury in the case OF Alderman
Tatum charged with selling lumber to the
city Of Fort Worth brought in verdict
yesterday of "not guilty." and every msn
who knows 10 Tatum will rejoice for his
sake, for this miserable business worried
the good man.
Judge Beckhsm charged the jury that
Mr.. Tatum was not guilty unless he con-
sented to the sale of the lumber prior to
its sale or delivery to the city, and the
verdict was "not guilty."
The facts are that 10 Tetum was re-
quested to sell this lumber to the city
and that he consulted the City Attorney
on the subject, SIS he wished in his con-
sclentious discharge of public duty to
avoid even the appearance of evil.
10 Tatum's firm sold lumber to the
city at Its cash price, and that firm lost in
the transaction the difference between
the price of the lumber and the value of
city scrip And yet this mans good
name was trailed in the mud and
shield was thus made-for whom and by
whom?
10 Tatum has done all he could for Fort
Worth as an alderman, and no more hon
est or honorable man lives in the city, bu5
we presume Fo1t Worth will not hereafter
buy lumber at Is per cent. less than its
value.
The instlgatlon of this persecution was
not IN the judge or jury, but the men who
are responsible for this attack on an IN
sui led name will hear from the people of
Fort Worth next April.

for dispute between the ranch whose
days are numbered, and the agriculturist
who seeks to "actually settle" the
millions of acres that lie west
of this city. But In all this
disputation, no one of either side to the
controversy has yet had the temerity to
deny that West Texas was unified for
immense crops Of sorghum. With sugar
mills at Fort Worth, the entrepot of the
west, an impetus would be given to the
cultivation of sorghum, lingering terror
Of "the drouth'' would be re-
moved, population would seek the
cheap lands of whose product there was
no question and for which there was q
home market, and Fort Worth would
draw the great west yet closer to its
commercial bosom.
The subject is one worth the Invesuga-
ton of the people of this city, especially
as it now has an opportunity to cooper
ate In such enterprise with men OF CAPT
tai and experience. Investigation will
cost nothing; the erection of a sorghum
sugar mill will cost no one anything save
those who put their money in it as an in
vestment, which promises to be remuner-
alive

THE anarchists are becoming quiet.
There are fewer would-be martyrs offer
ing themselves up as sacrifices. Most is
out of jail on bail, AMI every other
violent blstherskite will be sent TO jail if
he counsels riot or violence. This has
awakened the anarchists to the fact that
this country offers out barren soil for
their ideas. In England some sympathy
can be found because of the CON-
ditions of the country which COM
pels one man to be great or low,
according to the accident Of his
birth; in Germany some sympathy can be
found on account of the iron rule of Bis
marck, and in France because few men
in one city rule the entire country; in
Russia, anarchy is the only natural srgu-
ment that can be devised to meet the
despotism of an autocratic Gear, but in
America these conditions do not exist.
This is 8 strong government, quick to
punish violation of its laws. It is q
country "where every man," says Jeffer-
son, Sat the call of the law, will fly to
the standard of the law, and would meet
invasions of the public order as his own
personal concern" And it Is quite nat
urAl that every man should, since every
man has voice not only in making the
law, but in executing it.

the stores to make sale of q Texas and
Pacif1c Railroad check. purporting that
the check was valid and called for S49.75.
His last attempt to pass said check was
upon the drug firm OF Bars Bros, and it
proved to be successful. He purchased
of the clerk some 81 or SIS worth of
goods, and offered the check in payment
for them, which was received, and the
balance of check paid to him in cash.
After Webb eft the store the check was
more thoroughly examined by Dr.. Bars,
aud he found that some erasures and
changes had been made upon its face, and
becoming alarmed and believing that
Webb had passed bogus check upon the
firm ne ~ once sought the sheriff and
made known the above facts. The sheriff
advised him to telegraph TO the treasurer
of the road at Dallas, and know if the

DEVOURED By HOGS.
Ths Terrible Fate of an aged Lady Near
PRradfse. Missouri.

Paradise, Missouri.
PARADISE, Mo, Nov. IA horrible
discovery was made this morning on the
farm OF George Dale, prominent and
wealthy young man residing near town.
His sged mother, Mrs. Deliah Dale, hss
been living with him. A few days SEQ
he left the farm to be absent for several
! days. He left word in town for brother
| to look after the mother, snd by some &C.
cident this word never reached its Gesti-
nation. He returned this morning, and
upon going to his home found it deserted,
the door open and swinging to the winds.
He searched through the house for his
mother, his heart sickening with the fear
OF foul play, and then searched the barn.
He found nothing to indicate what had
been the trouble, nor any sign of her, nor
anything showing whether she had gone
or been taken.
Dale began wandering over the place
half distracted. His attention was at
tracted by the punching of the hogs in one
corner OF the lot in which they were con-
fined. They were tearing at some pecu-
liar oblact with their teeth and were fight
ing over it. He walked up to the spot
and to his unspeaksble horror beheld the
He seized a club and drove the swine
away, and then, half fainting from the
effect of the awful and revolving spectacle,
carried the remains of his mother into the
house and rang the alarm bell for the
neighbors. They rushed in and st the
terrible sight one or two of the women
were completely overcome. The son
George had in the meantime become
almost frantic and for sometime the ut
most confusion and excitement reigned.
An examination of the woman's re-
mains showed that the lett cheek had
been torn away, both eyes had been
gouged out, the breast had been gnawed
and torn, the right arm had been broken
and most OF the flesh torn off of it, the
fingers broken and most of them bitten
off, while little was left of the legs but |
broken bones. A brief inquest was held, |
and verdict of death from an unknown
cause rendered. |
Theories are numerOus-some allege |
foul play; some think she fell in the lot |
while feeding the hogs. Nothing Of value |
was missing from the house or premises. |
